Jane completed her M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in June 2011. Her research considered the internal deformation of subglacially erupted hyaloclastite ridges along the plate boundary of Iceland. These ridges can deform under their own weight by gravitational slumping, through the intrusion of magmatic dikes, through the injection of overpressured fluids, and by long-term tectonic stress across the plate boundary. Much of this deformation occurs through the formation of cataclastic deformation bands, which were initially described in Iceland by our collaborator, Barb Tewksbury (Hamilton College, New York). The results of this work are currently being prepared for submission to the Journal of Structural Geology. Jane is currently living in Duanesburg, New York, where she is undoubtedly amusing the locals.

Sandi completed her M.S. degree in geophysics at the University of Idaho in December 2004. Her research was aimed at estimating the thickness of the brittle or elastic portion of the ice shell of Jupiter's moon, Europa. She also examined evidence for potential large-scale impact features on Europa that may have led to the development of a type of feature called chaos. The results of her research were published in the October 2005 volume of the journal Icarus (Special Volume on Europa's Icy Shell). Sandi is currently living in Moscow, Idaho, and works for Washington State University. She previously served on the board of directors for the Pacific section of the American Astronomical Union.

Matt completed his BS in geology at the University of Idaho in June 2010 and his MS in May 2012.

In addition to a numerical modeling analysis of controls on relay ramp geometry, Matt also examined relay ramps in the field in California, Utah, and Nevada. Matt also considered the earthquake history and seismic hazard potential of the Hat Creek fault in northern California. The results of his research were published in Geosphere, with a second paper in preparation for the Journal of Structural Geology. Matt currently lives in Houston, Texas, where he works for ConocoPhillips.

Nate completed his M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in September 2006. His research focused on the relationship between normal faulting and surface folding in southwest Iceland.

The results of his research will soon be submitted to the Journal of Structural Geology. Nate is currently based out of Houston, Texas, working as a geologist for the Hess Corporation, an energy resource company.

Christina completed her M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in November 2009. Her research examined the processes responsible for the creation of ridges on Europa. Although these features are ubiquitous, their origins have been elusive. Christina discovered that a combination of processes, involving dilation, shearing, and contraction, can contribute to the formation of ridges, but that some amount of shearing is always a necessary component. She also discovered that the topographic variability and evolution of ridges involves visco-plastic collapse of ridges, requiring a source of hear nearby, ostensibly resulting from shearing. The results of her research will soon be submitted to Icarus. Christina is now planning to complete an MS degree in civil engineering from her distant outpost of Afognak Island, Alaska, where she is working as a GIS specialist.

Rachel completed her M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in July 2010. Her research considered the decades-old enigma of the origin of Upheaval Dome in Utah. Recent work has provided convincing evidence that the feature was caused by meteorite impact during the Cretaceous and now forms the deeply eroded root of that ancient impact feature. This evidence has been used to refute the alternative origin hypothesis that invokes salt diapirism to explain the feature. Rachel's detailed examination of a range of deformation styles at Upheaval Dome revealed that although there is ample deformation evidence of a dynamic event (meteorite impact), this deformation is superposed by a later, long-lived period of deformation that we interpret to be the result of impact-induced diapirism. Hence, both hypotheses for the origin of the dome are technically correct. The results of her research will soon be submitted to GSA Bulletin. Rachel works as a geologist at Shaw Ennvironmental, Inc. in Albuquerque, NM.

Leslie completed his M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in December 2005. His research examined evidence for temporal strain partitioning on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, through a detailed mapping survey and analysis of faulting and fracturing patterns in this oblique spreading environment. He performed an exhaustive search for clues in the fracture history to indicate the importance of the magmatic cycle on the structural architecture of the region. The results of his research will soon be submitted to the Journal of Structural Geology. Leslie is currently living and working in Vermont.

This work was published in the March 2003 volume of the Journal of Structural Geology. Jim is employed at Anadarko Petroleum Company in Houston, Texas.

Julie completed her M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in August 2006. Her research examined the growth of curved cycloidal cracks on Jupiter's moon, Europa. She utilized mathematical models based on linear elastic fracture mechanics in tandem with calculated tidal stress states in Europa's ice shell to develop a mechanical model for the development of cycloid cusps in a manner analogous to shearing-induced tailcracks along strike-slip faults. She thus showed that shearing deformation is a major aspect of the tectonics on Europa. Julie is currently living in Michigan where she works as an environmental geologist for GZA GeoEnvironmental Inc., in Livonia, MI.

Jon completed his M.S. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in June 2010. His research emphasized the geologically most recent tectonic features on the surface of Europa's icy shell. These fractures, called troughs, crosscut all other tectonic features, as well as features that appear to have formed through some sort of endogenic process in a thickening ice shell that created disrupted regions called chaos at the surface. Jon produced maps of young troughs, then calculated the contemporary stress fields that would exist on the surface in response to tidal forcing and the process of nonsynchronous rotation of the ice shell. By comparing fracture patterns to these stress fields, Jon was able to make a case that some regions contain fractures that may have formed within the past few tens of thousands of years, implying a potentially tectonically active ice shell. His work is currently being prepared for submission to the journal Icarus. Jon is currently residing in Chicago, Illinois, where he is enrolled in the PhD program at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Alex completed his Ph.D. in geology at the University of Idaho in May 2013. His research considered the fracturing of ice in the south-polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus to establish the stress history recorded in the fracture sequence, to determine the properties of the ice shell, and to provide insights into the eruptive plumes emanating from cracks in this region. This work resulted in 1 publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, for which Alex received the nationally competitive Pellas-Ryder Award from the Geological Society of America for the best student first-authored paper in planetary sciences during 2011. Two additional publications are currently in preparation. Alex is currently a postdoctoral researcher in planetary science at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, where he is working under the mentorship of Dr. Robert Pappalardo.

Suzette completed her Ph.D. degree in geology at the University of Idaho in December 2011. Her research used recent GPS data from the Snake River Plain and adjacent Centennial Tectonic Belt (part of the Basin and Range Province north of the Snake River Plain) to infer a velocity differential from the CTB to the SRP that can only be reconciled with the presence of right-lateral shearing between the two provinces at a rate of ~0.7 mm/yr. This shearing is not taken up by a discrete boundary between the two provinces but is rather likely distributed between numerous preexisting structural features (faults). The results of her research were published in the August 2008 volume of the journal Geology, with additional papers in press in the journal Geophysical Journal International, and submitted to the journal Lithosphere. Suzette is currently living in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and works for the Idaho National Laboratory as a seismologist.
